What does God say about being gay?
10/09/2023 Duration: 53minOver the last 30 years our culture has shifted dramatically on the issue of homosexuality. This has created enormous tension within those who seek to study, understand, and live out what the Bible teaches.

However, this love cannot come at the expense of Biblical truth because the Gospel calls everyone to repent and believe.

Forgive and Live - Pastor Ben Dixon
24/07/2023 Duration: 52minWe live in a world full of sin which regularly introduces various levels of conflict that we all must deal with. It’s not hard to get offended and become bitter and unforgiving which is the normal response of our flesh. Jesus stepped into this kind of world and showed us what real forgiveness looks like through His own sacrifice. By placing our faith in Jesus, we are completely forgiven of all our sin and made right with God. Not only do we receive forgiveness from Jesus for ourselves, but as His disciples we are called to follow His way by forgiving others when they sin against us. When Jesus taught about forgiveness, He showed us that it’s not merely an obedient action but an inward heart attitude. Therefore, we are called to walk with God in such a way where we constantly and consistently release what we have received - forgiveness! Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35, Mark 11:25, Luke 17:3, Matthew 18:15, Jeremiah 31:34, Hebrews 10:17, Genesis 50:18-20 Series: Freedom In Christ This i

Freedom From an Offended Heart - Pastor Ben Dixon
17/07/2023 Duration: 54minWe live in a world that has seemingly normalized and legitimized being offended. At some point, we all feel the pressure to say one thing or not say another, and if we, somehow, fail to comply then an offended party is soon to follow. Do you know what I mean? Sure, real sins lead to real offense, and we deal with that specifically and directly as the Bible teaches. However, what about our perceptions, expectations, and even interpretations of what is going on around us? Jesus is not only the payment for our sins, but He is also the pattern for our life. And as we can see from Scripture He was not easily offended, nor did He carry offenses. Therefore, to be free from an offended heart means that we choose a Christlike response in the way we act, interact, and react to people and situations of life. Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Luke 17:1-6, Proverbs 18:19, 1 Peter 4:8, 11 Timothy 3:16-17, Psalm 119:165, Luke 6:27-28, Proverbs 19:11 Series: Freedom In Christ This is the 8th session in the series, "Fre

Breaking the Cycles of Pain
10/07/2023 Duration: 48minMost of us have heard the saying “hurt people will hurt people.” We know this statement is true because we all have experienced the reality of it. When emotional wounds are caused, they have a way of repeating themselves through those who have been hurt if the wound is not healed. Sometimes we are the source of that wound which caused great pain in another person either directly or indirectly. Is there something you have done to another person that you wish you could take back? Have you left anything unresolved in a past relationship where you caused pain? In this message, Pastor Ben looks at a very well-known story in the Old Testament to learn how God called someone to break the cycle of pain through the power of reconciliation. Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Genesis 25:27-34, Genesis 27:30-35, Genesis 27:41 - 28:5, Genesis 31:3, Genesis 32:24-32, Matthew 5:23-24 Series: Freedom In Christ This is the 7th session in the series, "Freedom in Christ".
